Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 364 The Shadow of the Old One

If it is going back in time, then my group can determine the time point they will go to next. After all, this is a Cthulhu running team game, and I will never send my group to a time point that has nothing to do with the side missions. Go on vacation, so as long as you determine the time points when the side missions may occur, then after sorting these time points, you can prepare in advance to complete the side missions at the next time point.

And now the time is wrong, it is troublesome, because you don't know when you will appear next, and Liu Xing thinks that kp Xuefeng will decide by rolling dice in all likelihood, but in terms of kp Xuefeng's luck, Liu Xing is still a little guilty, worried that the side missions on this world point will be the most dangerous and difficult side missions in this module. . .

At this time, Zhang Jingxu continued: "However, the strange thing is that the other residents of Panlong Town are not as aware of the appearance of time-space disorder as Hu Cang, so only Hu Cang retains self-awareness in the time-space disorder, and it is only consciousness, because Hu Cang's physical state will change with time, so judging from Hu Cang's current physical condition, the time we are this time is not far from the last time, because Hu Cang's current appearance is not much different from before."

"So, just after the time-space disorder happened, Hu Cang thought we would die because of the time-space disorder, because we are outsiders, and the outsiders who entered Panlong Town before will die immediately when the time-space disorder occurs, so Hu Cang came up to collect our corpses at this moment, but he didn't expect that we were still alive and well, so Hu Cang was shocked, but now Hu Cang thinks that we should be the chosen ones to prevent Panlong Town from continuing the time-space disorder, because we have now become Panlong Town. The biggest variable in Dragon Town."

Liu Xing nodded. As players, his group must be the biggest variable in the module, but Liu Xing does not think that his group can free Panlong Town from the chaos of time and space, because the main task of this module is to let his group leave Panlong Town, not to restore Panlong Town to normal.

Of course, these things must not be told to Hu Cang, so Liu Xing said to Zhang Jingxu: "Then Zhang Jingxu, please tell Hu Cang for me and Shi Chuanling, we will do our best to help Hu Cang save Panlong Town, but I hope Hu Cang can be honest with us and tell us some useful information. After all, we are new here, and we still look confused."

Zhang Jingxu nodded, and said, "Li Dian and Wan Zhongshan are asking Hu Cang some questions, and Hu Cang also said that he will know everything about us, and he will talk endlessly. After all, the reason why Hu Cang hid some things from us before this is because Hu Cang thinks that we are bound to die, so it is useless to tell us those things. But now it is alright. Hu Cang has regarded us as life-saving straw.

Liu Xing thought about it, if he was thrown into a small town with time and space disorder, and after experiencing hundreds of times of time and space disorder, then his mentality would explode and his spirit would collapse nine times out of ten.

Therefore, Liu Xing admires Hu Cang a little now.

After a while, Zhang Jingxu and others seemed to have finished communicating with Hu Cang, because after Hu Cang nodded to Liu Xing and Shi Chuanling, he left the room and went downstairs.

Then, Zhang Jingxu informed Liu Xing and Shi Chuanling of the result of the conversation, "First of all, I would like to say a bad news, that is, although the time and space of this Panlong Town are disordered, if we do some outrageous things at a point earlier in time, such as causing serious damage to a certain building, injuring or even killing a certain resident of Panlong Town, or reaching a certain relationship with a certain resident of Panlong Town, then it will continue at a later point in time, thereby changing the situation of Panlong Town, so Hu Cang hopes that we can be cautious and not Change Beaulieu Town at will."

Liu Xing frowned, this is another big trouble.

After all, if you want to complete a side quest, you will definitely change history. So if your group has already completed a side quest, but then when you are doing another side quest that happened before the completed side quest, if your group accidentally affects some important NPCs in the completed side quest, will the completed side quest be re-identified as unfinished, or even directly deemed a failure?

If this is the case, then Liu Xing feels that the difficulty of the side missions in this module will increase a lot. After all, completing one side mission may cause accidents in other completed side missions.

At this time, kp Xuefeng said: "I believe that all players have understood the current situation clearly, and have a new understanding of the side quests. First of all, you are right. The side quests in this module will not be completed immediately, but are in a pending state. When the sum of the 'truth' points of all the pending side quests exceeds 100, then these side quests will become completed, and players can complete the main quest."

"However, before this, if the player has some important impact on the pending side missions while performing other side missions, then these pending side missions may be in a failed state, and of course they may be in an unfinished state. All in all, I hope that all players can do the necessary planning for the side missions to avoid unexpected situations."

Knew it.

Liu Xing and the others looked at each other, seeing the word "helpless" on each other's faces.

Zhang Jingxu shrugged and continued: "After talking about the bad news, let me tell you another piece of good news. Hu Cang has now roughly guessed the reason why Panlong Town has become what it is today. It is very likely that it is because of a fanatic who came to Panlong Town in December 1999. That fanatic preached a certain foreign god in Panlong Town, and said that as long as you believe in that foreign god, you can live forever and live forever."

Liu Xing frowned, and said, "This so-called foreign god must be a certain old ruler, and it is precisely because of this old ruler that turned Panlong Town into an independent space, so Panlong Town has become what it is today."

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, according to Hu Cang's subsequent description, I can be sure that this so-called foreign god should be an old ruler, because the believer of this old ruler cut off his head in broad daylight in full view, and then put his head back indifferently, so I think this believer should be blessed by the old ruler, so he has the ability of immortality. You will die even if you lose your head."

Liu Xing thought for a while, and what Zhang Jingxu said was right. After all, mythical creatures are also creatures, and they will die when they are fatally attacked. As for the "decapitated immortality" mentioned by Hu Cang, only believers who have been blessed by the old ruler can complete it.

However, it is impossible for a believer to transform Panlong Town into an independent space, so Liu Xing can be sure that the old ruler has made a move.

But here comes the problem. Except for a few Old Ones, most of the Old Ones have been sealed in various places. Although some maintain a clear consciousness, they cannot leave their sealed places at will. Moreover, the Old Ones in the sealed state are not as powerful as imagined, so it is almost impossible to cast spells across provinces, let alone cast spells across borders.

After all, in Liu Xing's memory, there are very few old rulers related to China in the setting of Cthulhu Mythology. Liu Xing can only think of his "boss" Hastur, the king in yellow. After all, there are rumors that Hastur, the king in yellow, is the Yellow Emperor, but the current King in yellow Hastur is still sealed in an alien planet; The incarnation—the swollen daughter has taken some action in China, but the swollen daughter basically only appears in Shanghai.

So, who is this old ruler who is causing trouble in Beaulieu Town?

Liu Xing didn't have any clues for a while.

"After that performance, the fanatic of the old ruler was like a fish in water in Panlong Town. He was regarded as an envoy by the residents of Panlong Town. After all, seeing is believing. Everyone believed that as long as he believed in the old ruler, he could live forever like that fanatic. But who can resist such a temptation?" Zhang Jingxu continued.

Hearing this, Shi Chuanling asked anxiously: "Since that fanatic is preaching in Panlong Town, then that fanatic should mention the name of the old ruler, right?"

Zhang Jingxu shook his head helplessly, and said: "The fanatic did mention the name of the old ruler, but because Hu Cang was still studying medicine in other places, he just knew about it, and at that time Hu Cang thought that fanatic was just a charlatan who used some kind of clever tricks, so Hu Cang didn't pay much attention to this matter. It wasn't until Hu Cang returned to Panlong Town that he found that Panlong Town was in a state of time and space disorder, and Hu Cang realized the seriousness of the situation."

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Could this Hu Cang be a certain player's character card?

After all, according to Hu Cang, all outsiders who enter Panlong Town will die in the chaos of time and space, and only his own team as players can be safe and sound. When Hu Cang entered Panlong Town, Panlong Town should have become an independent space, so Hu Cang who did not die in the chaos of time and space should be a player at that time.

Therefore, Liu Xing reckoned that "Hu Cang" should have failed the module, and finally his character card became an NPC.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that Hu Cang should have some props in his hands, and it seemed that he had to find a way to "borrow" them to use them.

Liu Xing's expression gradually became vicious.

But Liu Xing suddenly thought of a question, and said, "Speaking of which, isn't Panlong Town, where time and space are disordered now, changing between 1990 and 2000, so Hu Cang should have seen that fanatic?"

Zhang Jingxu shook his head, and said with some doubts: "No, according to Hu Cang, in the 450 time-space disturbances, he has never seen that fanatic. Only once did Hu Cang come to Panlong Town after the fanatic left. At that time, Panlong Town was like what we saw last night. The whole Panlong Town was in a mess, and the ground was full of blood. , and then sent to other time points."

At this moment, kp Xuefeng stood up again, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to all players who have triggered the side mission that is most similar to the main mission in this module - the Old One. This side mission is quite special. The more clues you find about the Old One, the more rewards you will get, and the final prize is a priceless item."

The words of kp Xuefeng can be regarded as the final word. I didn't expect that the "Old Day" in the name of the module actually refers to the ruler of the old days.

And now, the shadow of the Old One looms over Beaulieu.

"By the way, by the way, Hu Cang is actually an orphan. Not long after Hu Cang was born, his parents died of illness one after another. As for our identities in Panlong Town, we will be Hu Cang's friends from other places. Okay, let's go back to our rooms to rest. Anyway, there is nothing to talk about now, and tomorrow we have to determine the current time." Zhang Jingxu stood up and said.

Liu Xing nodded, and took Shi Chuanling back to the room.

After chatting with Shi Chuanling for a while, Liu Xing was ready to go to bed.

Fortunately, there was no inspiration judgment tonight.

Sleep till dawn.

Liu Xing got up and took a sip of water when he heard crackling firecrackers not far away.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu had already gotten up and was leaning against the window in the hall looking at something.

Liu Xing walked over and asked with a smile: "Good morning, Zhang Jingxu, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Jingxu turned back and smiled, pointed in the direction of Xiao Mochen's teahouse and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, today should be a good day for Xiao Mochen and Hu Li to get married."

Liu Xing frowned, and hurried to the window to look over.

Sure enough, at the door of the teahouse, Liu Xing saw Xiao Mochen wearing a white suit at a glance, talking to others happily.
